Inside Issue 34

Much of this issue puts a spotlight on Myanmar (Burma), and we include an interview with Lucas Stewart, joint editor with Alfred Birnbaum of Hidden Words, Hidden Worlds, from which we include four stories.

We also feature two stories from Korean rising star Kim Ae-ran, whose writing is the focus for our forthcoming essay competition in partnership with the Literature Translation Institiute of Korea. Finally, sample some of the issue's poetry with John Mateer and Ellen Zhang, and there's more in Preview.

Subscribers can read the whole issue here on the website, through our online reader or by downloading eBooks from their accounts.

Our front and back cover images, 'Holy Man'' and 'The Guard' respectively, are by Sundeep Keramalu and published with kind permission of the photographer.
